COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONSt-Ambroise Pale Ale is the brewery's flagship beer. Introduced in February 1989, it is a hoppy, amber, full-flavoured ale. In The Simon and Schuster Pocket Guide To Beer , beer critic Michael Jackson gave it three stars and described it as: "An outstanding ale... amber-red, clean and appetizing, with a very good hop character, from its bouquet to its long finish. Hoppy, fruity, and tasty all the way through."

can into glass. Not the Pale Ale for me. Pretty as all eff with a clear copper bod and magnificent lacing from a huge and pillowy off-white head. Yielded by the nose of this sexy critter are notes of light citrus, floral, cider, danky earthiness, brown bread and caramel. I just find it a bit sweet and vinous for my tastes. Quite soft carbonation and a tinge of grease in the mouthfeel. Not bad but not for me.

CAN. poured a dark orange ruby with thick white head. Smell from can was banana, in the glass got more banana & vanilla custard. Was hard to put a finger on the flavours, but I did get a malty biscuit taste that disappeared very quickly.
